Mythicizing and Reification in Entrepreneurial Discourse: Ideology‐Critique of Entrepreneurial Studies
解构创业话语中的意识形态控制，揭示创业概念在研究和实践中存在的歧视性、性别偏见、种族中心主义等问题，适合关注创业研究批判性反思的学者。
This article discusses the effects of ideological control in conventional entrepreneurial discourses and praxis. Following postmodernist, deconstructionist and critical theory traditions, the ideas expressed about the phenomenon of entrepreneurship, and its contiguous notions and concepts, are deconstructed to reveal the dysfunctional effects of ideological control both in research and in praxis. It is shown that the concept of entrepreneurship is discriminatory, gender‐biased, ethnocentrically determined and ideologically controlled, sustaining not only prevailing societal biases, but serving as a tapestry for un‐ examined and contradictory assumptions and knowledge about the reality of entrepreneurs.
